chandu Frank Chandler, an American agent known in the secret places of the far east as Chandu The Magician. He had learned magic from a yogi in India and used his occult powers and a crystal ball against Roxor, a master criminal, amongst many other evils of the world. Chandu was a traveling series, whisking those first-generation radio listeners to Monrovia, Algiers, and other exotic locales in the Middle East. (source: John Dunning On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio )

One of the longest running juvenile adventure serials on radio, Chandu the Magician was heard as a local program beginning in 1931 on KHJ in Los Angeles until 1932. It was then heard, starting in February 1932, over WOR in the East. Nationally, it aired over MUTUAL starting 10/08/32 with Gayne Whitman in the title role, it was sponsored by White King Soap on the West Coast and Beech Nut on the East Coast. Howard Hoffman also took over the lead role for a period of time. Many scripts were later redone in a new series with Tom Collins in the title role beginning 06/28/48 again as a 15 minute program. This new series lasted 154 episodes ending on 01/28/49. The following week, on 02/03/49, the broadcasts were expanded to a full 30 minutes each, and each script was a self contained story line instead of a serial, but this time heard over only over the MUTUAL DON LEE network. Starting on 11/19/49 and running until 09/06/50, programs were heard over ABC.

The one-and-only Cecil B.

Every genre is included, from darkest noir crime dramas to historical epics to bubbly musicals and broad comedies. There are some titles that are less known today, and that makes them even more historical. The stars of the movie are usually in the productions, although sometimes contracts or schedules meant that another star took the part.

The 931 episodes broadcast were all based on popular films with the biggest stars of Hollywood playing the parts and during its heyday the audience was estimated as high as forty million. The one-and-only Cecil B. DeMille was your host (1936-45) for a lavish production of what was to become a veritable film checklist of many of Hollywoods best films from the mid-30s right through the mid 50s. Every genre is included, from darkest noir crime dramas to historical epics to bubbly musicals and broad comedies. There are some titles that are less known today, and that makes them even more historical. The stars of the movie are usually in the productions, although sometimes contracts or schedules meant that another star took the part. In some another star would be featured in one of the major roles. The productions were live, with full orchestra, and many Hollywood legends were unused to performing in public without the benefit of retakes. Needless to say, the performances in every show are singular. The Lux Radio Theatre is a masterpiece in OTRs crown, and each show is a historical time capsule that takes us back to the glamour of the Golden Age of Hollywood.\";s:8:\"explicit\";s:2:\"no\";s:8:\"keywords\";s:42:\"lux radio theatre,OTR,old time radio,botar\";}s:4:\"link\";s:93:\"http://media.libsyn.com/media/botar/OTR_lux_radio_theatre__voice_of_bugle_anne_07_06_1936.mp3\";s:4:\"guid\";s:93:\"http://media.libsyn.com/media/botar/OTR_lux_radio_theatre__voice_of_bugle_anne_07_06_1936.mp3\";s:11:\"description\";s:127:\"A melodrama about an old farmer who loves to hunt foxes, and his favorite hunting dog, stars Lionel Barrymore and Anne Shirley.\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:32:\"Thu, 16 Oct 2008 09:00:00 -0700 \";s:8:\"category\";s:14:\"Old Time Radio\";s:7:\"summary\";s:127:\"A melodrama about an old farmer who loves to hunt foxes, and his favorite hunting dog, stars Lionel Barrymore and Anne Shirley.\";}i:29;a:8:{s:5:\"title\";s:49:\"journey into space, red planet mars p4 10/27/1954\";s:6:\"itunes\";a:5:{s:6:\"author\";s:12:\"www.botar.us\";s:8:\"subtitle\";s:28:\"original air date 10/27/1954\";s:7:\"summary\";s:356:\"Journey Into Space was a science fiction series broadcast on BBC radio in the 1950s.
